Hey Caty, Thanx :) Also,I went through those links and the sketches heres what I think:
1. Jerome's version does look better and simple but I feel it would lack the ease of use as most of the functions would be present in a separate menu which could be reached through the '+' . More clicks leads to a less intuitive UI and downgrades user experience. On the other hand, Jerome's version gives a lighter and better look with only the main functions on the homescreen. What needs to be looked into is whether the main options are sufficient to cater an average user such that we can ignore the 'more clicks' aspect. What I have also noticed is that Jerome's version does include all the functions present on yours yet has an option '+' and even your version has an empty function box so I am guessing there are/would be more functions that need to be present or added. Personally, I am in favor of your version of the skin because its functions serve as tabs for dynamic lower portion of the screen, the static layer of links to the various functions/screens makes it easy to navigate for the user. 2. Even I feel that the two scrolls on the comments page should be done away with instead it should take the whole page. And I am new to XWiki and its development tools so I would be needing your help to get on track so please bare with my newbie questions. 1. I have downloaded 'xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.0' and would be following the instructions as given on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins , is this the correct approach? 2. What else can I do to get a better know how and integrate myself more in the project?
